TRUTH AND WARNING

THIS MESSAGE HAS CROPPED UP NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE YEARS.. SO WATCH OUT ESPECIALLY THE YOUNGER OR MORE SENSITIVE

Adam

6 Minutes Ago Hi Emma. I am new to Writer’s Cafe and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. I am reading a Dean Koontz novel where a woman is holding a man hostage in her home for ransom. While restrained to a chair, the man suddenly calls for help, but the woman quickly covers his mouth. This is the part I find implausible. Since women have very small hands, do you think your hand would be large enough to cover his mouth? I’d love your honest opinion.

I got this message in my inbox today, for the first time. I answered him initially, thinking he sincerely wanted feedback for some novel of his but then he reverted to my answer with another strange question that made me suspicious and I ignored it. Yes indeed, a more impressionable person may be affected. It was creepy in hindsight. Another friend of mine also got his message. Thank you for the heads up.

Many thanks for caring, Divya. Fifty seven views in total, but only 5 reviews. Maybe I have too much imagination but- in the process, worry about young or/and sensitive women whereas others do not. 'Just don't know.

[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

I got it yesterday too
I blocked
No other way

[emmajoygreen]

I blocked him too. Have done so each time before but, needless to say - maybe three or so years, he will be wearing another name. True, no other way.. Bu never mind him.. enjoy your friends and the weekend, dear Julie

All should take care of idiotic monsters such as this I agree. He only sends to females which gives ample evidence of his motives.
Take care everyone.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks, Ken, takes empathy to know how the unsuspecting can suddenly feel. Hope your world is warmer and dryer than has been.

[Ken Simm.]

Ignoring him would be the worst punishment for him.

[emmajoygreen]

Never would ignore him and don't think I ever have, in fact rather overdone it at times! Am I going silly but should that be drier?

The pickup of the bags has finished now, done it quite quickly this morning, more drivers with larger vehicles, one driver, Nick, took two bags after offering, gave the would-be drivera quick buzz and she laughed cos she has a cold, didn't want to put on her makeup!! And no, she us nothing like that creature on.. u no ware! xx

[Lorry]

Yes. Have only heard females mentioning it, but with such a vague name I have been sent it too.
Just someone who gets his jollies by talking out his fantasies, probably because he'd run at the first sight of a real woman talking to him.
But hey, I'm a cynic and not a woman and certainly not a young woman, so can see why this is beyond creepy, especially since they've been posting the same message to people for years.

[emmajoygreen]

Many thanks for caring, Lorry. You could be right. I rememeber a young lass from way back being scared, wondering if it was a joke or as she put it a weirdo. I reported it then, and have twice since. Still that same message gets through.

[emmajoygreen]

That creature has posted the message perhaps six, seven times in the years I have been in here. One young writer, sixteen plus, was petrified. 'Will NOT have that sort of thing happen. Some- AS IN THE PAST, might think it amusing but there are sensitive and young women in here who deserve better. How amazing that 21 people have looked in but have nothing to add. Not wanting anything for self, but people could at least care

[jacob erin-cilberto]

I agree with Chris.
Everyone needs to be wary of this kind of stuff.
Thanks for pointing it out.
